Any hotel in the 1500 block of S. Harbor is good for walking. I have stayed at the CAROUSEL INN AND SUITES and the Ramada Inn Main Gate Saga and while they are not the Grand Californian - they both served my purposes just fine. Both of these hotels are in the 1500 block. There are several other hotels there too.
I live in No. Cal. and our spring break times seem to be different than some of the schools in So. Cal. so it might be hard to say when spring breaks are happening for the whole state.
I have gone at the end of March 2X and found the crowds to bearable and while you do have to wait for some of the "bigger" attractions the lines seemed to be nothing over a half an hour (without using fast pass).
Hope this helps you out a little bit.
